1964 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible on 2040-cars
Camden, New Jersey, United States
More infos regarding my car at: deanadeeastes@hairdressers.net .
Un-restored classic convertible. Perfect hassle-free collectible driver.
NO overheating, NO wiring issues, NO cold/hot starting issues, NO smoking, NO A/C or Heat.
Engine and transmission are numbers matching. Motor pulls strong and does not smoke or overheat even over 100mi
drives or local traffic. I use Mobil 1 (15w-50) motor oil as this has a high zinc content to minimize engine wear
- new owner can make his/her own choice but shows the engine can run fine with synthetic. No cold or hot starting
gremlins which is amazing for this vintage engine design. Two pumps and clutch in to start; depress half gas for
warm start per instructions.
While the paint is over 30 years old, this is a stunning 10' car. Fiber glass spiders and swirls visible under
full sun. Interior is respectable and tidy, but not showroom. This is a NY/NJ only driven car since 1964 so there
are moderate rust areas but all surface level as this car has not been restored.
All gauges work. All lights function- pop-up headlamp mechanism, side markers/tail/back up lights and dash
lighting.
I have original bill of sale and other period documents in 1964. I am the third owner, previous owner cared for
this car since early 80s as far as I know from fine auto dealer I acquired the car - The Stable Gladstone Peapack
NJ.
- Original hardtop included.
- Soft top is new- black.
- Freshly replaced oil and filter (original filter metal casing still on car!).
- Rear drum brake lines replaced; fluids flushed
- Spark plugs replaced November 2016
No known bodywork and so fiberglass join seams above wheels per factory standard.
Watch-outs:
- Paint is over 30 years old.
- Heater hose by-passed so no heat. Box was slightly leaking which could imply loose hose or needs full
replacement. This is not a winter car anyway, nor should it ever be one.
- Odometer does not work. Frozen at 51,600. The 70k declared mileage is based on previous owner estimation. This
is a very common c2 problem.
Let me know if you have any questions. The car is in NJ.
VIDEOS OF CAR STARTING AND (SPIRITED) DRIVING MODES:
There are three videos uploaded onto YouTube. Search under "Jose 1964 Corvette," and click the channel to see all
three videos.
- early morning start. High 40s and just rained. Condensation visible off tailpipe which disappeared after 5 secs
or so.
- joining highway
- acceleration after Stop sign

Pony-car sales war: Mustang vs. Camaro vs. Challenger [UPDATE]
Fri, Jul 3 2015Update: An earlier version of this story misstated the 2015 Mustang's weight when compared with previous models. Additionally, we have added comments from Chevrolet in the text. The Ford Mustang has blown past the Chevy Camaro as America's best-selling pony car, and in June, it wasn't even close. The 'Stang outsold the Camaro 11,719 to 8,611 cars. The Camaro remained ahead of the Dodge Challenger, which sold 6,845 units. Even though the Camaro did post an 11.5-percent sales improvement in June, the competition is arguably stronger than at anytime since the 1970s muscle-car era. The Mustang's sales leapt a whopping 53.6 percent, while the Challenger saw a gain of 56 percent. Several factors are weighing down Camaro sales, including its lame duck status. Chevy is launching a new generation of the Camaro this year that's more than 200 pounds lighter, offers a new turbo four-cylinder engine option, and has a nicer interior than the outgoing model. Put simply: wait a few months and you can get a better car. It's also unlikely Chevy will jack up the price much, as it's historically kept the Camaro within reach of everyday enthusiasts. While Chevy fans wait in anticipation for their new sports car, Ford and Dodge have downshifted. The new Mustang, which went on sale last year, is faster and more sophisticated than its predecessor. It also offers a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, which Ford has credited for the Mustang's recent uptick and makes up 36 percent of the car's sales, Ford analyst Erich Merkle said. View 17 Photos June's performance allowed the Mustang to widen its sales gap with the Camaro this year. Through the first five months, Ford sold 68,290 Mustangs, a 54.4-percent increased compared with 2014. Chevy sold 42,593 Camaros, an 8.7-percent decrease. The Challenger – long the No. 3 pony car in sales volume – has seen its sales surge 41 percent this year to 37,011 units. Spokesman Monte Doran said Chevy expected that 2015 would be a "relatively soft year" for the Camaro. "Mustang is taking advantage of years' worth of pent-up demand for an independent rear suspension," he said. "When Camaro introduced an IRS, in 2009, it helped make us the best-selling performance car in America.
GM re-recalls 11k SUVs
Tue, Oct 13 2015General Motors is recalling a bunch of previously recalled SUVs because, well, they still aren't quite fixed. The latest repairs are necessary on 10,974 SUVs in North America, including 9,932 in only the US. Affected models include the 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and GMC Envoy; plus the 2006 Trailblazer EXT and Envoy XL. While not listed by NHTSA, a statement by GM to Autoblog says the 2006-2007 Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender are also affected. In these SUVs, it's possible that liquid could get into the driver's door master power window switch module and cause a short circuit. This could potentially lead to a fire, and owners are urged to park the vehicles outside until repaired. GM has been trying to fix this issue for years. It started as an investigation into fires, and that led to a recall for about 250,000 vehicles in cold-weather states. A nationwide campaign came in 2013 for 193,000 of them in the US. Last year, the automaker decided to replace the whole module as a repair. However in a recent investigation of these recalls, GM discovered that this latest group of SUVs never received the new part. According to documents submitted to NHTSA (as a PDF), "Some dealers incorrectly used the labor code associated with module replacement when, instead of replacing the module, they only added a protective coating to the module." To fix things this time, the models finally get the correct component. Related Video: GM Statement General Motors is recalling 9,932 older midsize SUVs in the U.S. because they were mistakenly excluded from an earlier recall. Certain 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL, and 2006-2007 TrailBlazer, Envoy, Buick Rainier, Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender vehicles may continue to have a condition in which the printed circuit board inside the driver's door may corrode and short if exposed to certain fluids such as melted snow containing road salt. GM is aware of four fires but no crashes, injuries or fatalities associated with the expanded recall. The total number of vehicles being recalled, including Canada, Mexico and exports is 10.974. Customers are urged to park these vehicles outside until repairs have been made. GM reported this recall to the NHTSA on September 23.
Nissan Leaf keeps plug-in vehicle sales crown for 6th straight month
Thu, May 1 2014And Nissan makes it 14 in a row. For the 14th straight month, the all-electric Leaf has had "record sales," according to Nissan's marketing team. What that means is that for that particular month (in this case, April) no matter what year you look at, the car sold more than it ever did before. For April 2014, the 2,088 Leafs sold represents a 7.8-percent increase from 2013. Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said in a statement that the "new market" of Cincinnati made the top 25 list for Leaf sales areas in April, so the car's popularity continues to ebb and flow across the US. Over at Chevy, the Volt sold 1,548 units in April, reaching a year-to-date total of 5,154. The Leaf is outpacing that with 7,272 YTD sales. In 2013, the Volt outsold the Leaf by about 500 vehicles, but Leaf sales are up 33 percent year-over-year while Volt is down 7.1 percent. The Leaf has also outsold the Volt for six straight months. But we're excited for every eco-car sale, and that's why we'll have our monthly detailed write-up of the rest of the plug-ins, hybrids and diesel vehicles available soon. Until then, discuss.
